I want to paint the rest of my days with the best colors.

― Debasish Mridha

Ritva asks us to select one color (excluding black and white), and share a maximum of 6 photos where our chosen color is the prominent hue, or alternatively, you may share one photo featuring each of the following captivating colors in their various shades: red, blue, green, purple, orange, and yellow.

I am cheating…I hope Ritva forgives me for choosing my favourite colours only – but in 6 photos!

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.

– Pedro Calderón de la Barca

There is no doubt that green is my favourite colour. To me, spring brings life back to us, revitalising, we are bathing in Mother Nature’s lush greenery. I am surrounded by green in my garden, in my home, in my daily forest walks.

In fact, I am beginning to wonder how I will survive a move to a place without a garden…Hopefully in the far future.

”How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.”

– Vincent van Gogh

Yellow and orange are lively and uplifting colours. If I tweak it a bit, there is a hint of red here as well. This yellow foxtail lily shines intensely in the shadow of a tree.

A certain blue enters your soul

– Henri Matisse

We have blue all around us on this planet Earth…every season has its own shade or tint. Ice on my glass house windows shows spectacular patterns.

All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul—when you look at it, it’s looking back at you.

— Uniek Swain

Purple – irresistible Wisteria! Our visit to Japan made me plant four new Wisterias in my garden.

A big thank you to Anne for the Texture challenge last week! The diversity in your posts provided us with both inspiration and awe – I felt like going out with my camera for even more textures… Next week, it will be Egídio’s turn to lead us, so be sure to visit his beautiful site for more creative ideas.

Until then – stay well and be kind.
